"Oh, what's wrong now, Honeypaw?" Whorlpaw lightly rolled her eyes, backing away from him to give him space. "Did you have a thorn in your nest all night?"
Smokestorm flicked his ear, looking around. "Isn't someone else assigned to assist you? I thought we always had two cats keeping guard?"

"Isn't someone else assigned to assist you? I thought we always had two cats keeping guard?" Honeypaw glanced at Whorlpaw silently, not in as much of a sarcastic mood as usual. Rather, he glanced away and sighed. "No...Nothing like that. Something foolish, really. But it doesn't matter..." He flicked his nub of a tail. "I see you're finally learning real techniques." "Well...it was Cardinalblaze, but he seemed really out of it. I think he ate something bad, he wasn't feeling all too well. Er...so I uh, told him I could cover for him, and that he needed to lay down. We don't really need two guarding cats...unless you want to take the spot..." Snakesong admitted.

"Like I'm going to let you change the subject." Whorlpaw gave him a knowing look. "Something's clearly bothering you, so it must be important. What's wrong, Honeypaw?"
Smokestorm shrugged. "Better than going on patrol." He sat down to guard with her. "Did Cardinalblaze go see Snowdance?"

"Better than going on patrol." He sat down to guard with her. "Did Cardinalblaze go see Snowdance?" Honeypaw felt a flash of annoyance, but it was drowned out more by his tiredness and stress. He flicked his ear sharply as he sighed. "Why does it matter to you? It's not as if I'm dying, Whorlpaw. I slept bad. That's it." He looked away. Snakesong gave an unsure look. "I...am not sure. I told him to sleep it off, but if I see him looking as bad later, I'll try and get him to go see her..." She looked weary all of a sudden. "You don't think he's sick?" She fretted awkwardly.

"Sleeping bad which leads to exhaustion--especially if it's nightly." Whorlpaw sat down, flicking her tail. "It could effect your training."
"I sure hope not." Smokestorm snorted. "We've been lucky for far this leaf-bare. Even after Tumblefoot's impressive catch, I doubt we could feed the Clan if sickness sinks in."

“Then I would say that you’re acting immature.” Snowdance said, flicking her tail, “But then I would have no choice but to treat them myself.” She sighed and shook her head, honestly, what was she going to do with these two? “Look. I’m not asking you to trust him. I’m asking you to trust me, your medicine cat.”

Frogleap kept by Hollowpool's side, walking with her while she got used to it. He smiled brightly, going on about that big vulture Tumblefoot brought to camp.
Cedarstar flattened his ears. Why was doing this? Trying to force him to get along with Ashrock. He silently cursed the position she put him in. If he didn't accept Ashrock's treatment, it showed the Clan he didn't trust Snowdance's judgement when she gave the order. "You really think he won't try anything?"

Snowdance looked at him, eyes clear, “I know he won’t. And if he does, he’ll have me to deal with later.” She said, nodding to him.

Hollowpool leaned on him slightly, listen to him talk. "You should try to catch a vulture. I bet you could do it."

"We've been lucky for far this leaf-bare. Even after Tumblefoot's impressive catch, I doubt we could feed the Clan if sickness sinks in." "I see you've become an expert overnight." Honeypaw huffed. He lifted his muzzle and shrugged. "And again, why would my exhaustion matter to you? It's not going to effect your training with Stormfury." He wanted to know why she seemed to...care so much. She was just like Oakstalk, acting like she cared, but he knew better. He just wasn't perfect enough for them, was he? At least, that's what he thought. Inwardly he felt weary that she kept trying to pick him apart. "Cardinalblaze is an exceptional hunter too. If he gets sick, we're down a good hunter, and that's the last thing we need." Snakesong sighed, more of a fighter than a hunter herself.

Cedarstar flicked his ear and let out a sigh. He didn't way a word when he turned to go, but his tail did lash in his dislike. If anything it was reassuring that Ashrock would be dealing with Snowdance if he tried anything.
The gray warrior was impatiently waiting for Cedarstar to return from the medicine den. His yellow eyes glinted with interest when he spotted his brother. "Can't order Snowdance to change her instructions?"
"Just shut up and treat me." Cedarstar sat down next to Ashrock, ears back and gaze pointedly looking away.
Ashrock twitched his whiskers in amusement before starting to chew up the marigold leaves. His face twisted in disgust at their bitter taste.
"OW!" Cedarstar full on flinched when Ashrock pressed the poultice to his wounds. He pulled away from his brother. "What do you think you're doing?! That hurts!"
Ashrock flattened his ears. "I'm treating you, what's it look like?!"
"Feels more like you're trying to shove your paw into my lungs!" Cedarstar firmly matched his brother's gaze. "It's a wound, Ashrock, not a bloody puddle!"
The gray warrior grit his teeth. "Well forgive me if I don't have a gentle touch. I was trained to be warrior, not a stargazing medicine cat!"
"Who would've thought with how interested you were in Snowdance's poppy seeds!" Cedarstar snapped back.

"Oh, that would be so cool." Frogleap grinned at her. "Could you imagine?" He puffed out his chest. "Frogleap! The Vulture slayer! I wonder if I could get Goldberry or Tumblefoot to show me how its done. I'd really be a good hunter then!"
Whorlpaw chuckled. "Because you're my clanmate, frog-brain. We have to look out for each other."
Smokestorm nodded in light agreement then shrugged. "I guess if the Clan does get sick, I could step up to pick up the slack."

Snowdance flicked her ear when she heard the two start arguing, only shaking her head as she turned back to her work with a sigh.

"I'm sure if you ask they'd love to show you." Hollowpool purred. "Then you can teach me when I'm better." She spoke.

She really believed that, didn't she? In a perfectly supportive clan, where everyone trusted eachother completely. He felt a part of himself twinge with annoyance, while another part of him burned with envy. Why was it so easy for her and others to feel like that? He thought of his father, banished twice, a killer...even if it was against his will, he killed, and he was banished twice. Who was looking out for anyone then? He shook his head lightly and assured. "Is it truly that important to you? You must know?" "You? Picking up slack?" Snakesong let out a thick laugh, but quickly closed her jaws and hid her teeth, not a fan of her laugh at all. She coughed lightly in apology at her joke.

"Ho ho!" Frogleap bounced in his excitement. "You and I will be the greatest vulture hunters the Clan has ever seen!"
Whorlpaw snickered. "Either you tell me or you I pester you until you do."
"Hey!" Smokestorm blinked at her in light surprise. "I could pull my weight around here. I am a talented warrior!"

Ashrock flattened his ears at his brother's comment, he purposely pushed his paw into the leader's wound. "Oops, sorry, clumsy me," he stated flatly.
A low growl sounded from Cedarstar's throat after his little start of pain. He narrowed his eyes at his brother. "Do it right, Ashrock, or I'll make sure you stay in the medicine den until you learn a medicine cat's touch."
Ashrock held his brother's gaze, tail flicking in annoyance. "You wouldn't dare."

Smokestorm blinked at her in light surprise. "I could pull my weight around here. I am a talented warrior!" Honeypaw turned to look at Whorlpaw directly, eyes ice blue and steeled. He finally admitted. "I had a dream. I saw my brother and sister dying. And I couldn't do anything. They were bleeding, and all I could do was watch. So when I woke up, I didn't want to sleep again." He felt a sharp sting of foolishness in him, for admitting this so easily to her. "A talented sleeper." Snakesong retorted with a quiet voice, though it rang with a humor and hesitant confidence as she attempted to joke with her friend.

Whorlpaw blinked in start, not realizing how heavy of confession Honeypaw would have. She honestly thought he had a thorn in his nest. "Oh." Her ears fell back, not sure what she should say. "I...I can understand that. I wouldn't want to sleep if I saw Palepaw and Duskpaw lying dead in my dreams."
Smokestorm rolled his eyes in light amusement. "Like I said before, sleeping is just more interesting than things that happen in camp, but if the clan needed me, I'd help out."
(I imagine Smokestorm like a Slaking: very strong and skillful, but loafing around all the time xD)

"It's just a dream. Not real. I'll get over it soon." Honeypaw assured, not wanting her to have any kind of pity or reason to act careful around him. He wasn't going to fall apart. He shrugged. "So, no. There was no thorn in my nest. I should hope there won't be any." Snakesong gave a soft hum. "I know. You're a good warrior. I only tease you for fun. I trust...er, I'd trust you with my life." She nodded.

"Oh, this'll be great." Frogleap smiled at Hollowpool. "I'll ask Goldberry as soon as can to teach me how to hunt vultures. Then, when you're ready, I'll teach you!"
Whorlpaw twitched her whiskers in amusement and muttered. "There might be." She shook her head. "Of course it isn't real. Coalpaw is pacing the medicine den and your sister just went out for training. They looked pretty alive to me." She chuckled lightly. "Honeypaw, isn't that a natural thing to be afraid of? You shouldn't force yourself through it, it's not a line of kittypets."
Smokestorm twitched his whiskers and lightly smiled at her. "And I trust you too, Snakesong."

Honeypaw mewed out. He took another breath then, voice smoothing out into a more lighter tone. "I don't have time to be dwelling over bad dreams anyway. I'm not afraid." He mewed firmly, looking towards the medicine den. "The clan is practically starving. My nightmares are the least dangerous things we need to focus on." Snakesong looked at Smokestorm with surprise and a hint of deep gratitude. Her voice came out strange, high and quiet. "Y-you really do?"

Whorlpaw flicked her ear and sighed softly, not sure what to say to him. "Alright, Honeypaw, if you say so."
"Well, yeah." Smokestorm nodded. "Doesn't everybody? You're a talented warrior, Snakesong."

You're a talented warrior, Snakesong." Honeypaw glanced at Whorlpaw, feeling a flash of resigned exasperation as he realized he should probably not ruin her mood. He instead changed the subject, asking. "So what has Stormfury shown you? Clearly you're more sure of your skills by how you were using them." Snakesong gave a shy look, glancing away as she admitted. "Uh...I'm not sure. I know my brother does but, er...I don't talk to many cats. Kinda...not my best skill. So maybe some do? Others might not? I dunno…" (I gtg)

"As long as I can sit still." Whorlpaw flushed with embarrassment. "He showed me the proper pounce, but I get so excited, I can't stop my tail from waving."
"Sounds you need to get around more." Smokestorm twitched his whiskers in amusement. "Maybe you and I could go with Eaglesight and Shadedpine on a hunt sometime? He said he had something he wanted to tell me."

((Whorlpaw is my life. I love her to death))
Stormfury watched Whorlpaw from across the camp, not wanting her to know she was being watched. She seemed to do better when he wasn't there. Perhaps she was too eager to please him. In any case he was glad she was retaining what he had taught her.
Cloudscar looked around the camp, trying to settle the day's patrols.
